Chapter 152
The day after the succession ceremony, the Fifteen New Stars were summoned to the Hokage office.
Tsunade gazed at these fifteen vibrant young shinobi, unable to suppress a sigh of emotion. At the same time, she felt renewed confidence in Konoha's future.
These fifteen—without a doubt—would become the pillars of the village!
Naruto was the first to lose his patience and asked loudly,
"Granny Tsunade, why did you call us here? I still have training to do, dattebayo!"
Granny Tsunade?
Everyone looked at Naruto with strange expressions, then looked at the youthful, stunningly beautiful, and—let's be honest—scary Tsunade. It was hard to associate the word "granny" with her appearance.
But thinking about her age... it wasn't exactly wrong.
Still, calling her "granny" seemed like a privilege only Naruto got away with.
"Well, Naruto, don't rush. I've called you all here today to announce your promotions."
Tsunade smiled, her gaze falling on Natsuki.
"Natsuki, based on your exceptional performance during the Chūnin Exams, and with recommendations from several Jōnin, I hereby promote you to Jōnin as of today."
